Saint Charles Liposuction doctors

Any procedure has risks. However, plastic surgery procedures in general are very safe when done by board certified plastic surgeons in appropriately accredited facilities. Liposuction is one of the most safe procedures as long as not more than 5 liters is removed, done by the right surgeon in the right location. However, liposuction is performed by many physicians who do not have the same knowledge and training as a plastic surgeon and who perform the procedures in facilities that don't meet strict guidelines for patient safety. So, I would recommend choosing your surgeon wisely and avoid price shopping. Make sure the facility where you are having the procedure performed is appropriately accredited by a national organization. You should have a good and safe outcome.

Any surgery will leave some scarring. Liposuction scars are very small and usually placed in well concealed areas. There is always a risk for poor scarring. However, earlobes are well known locations for keloid formation. Liposuction areas do not have that high of a risk. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon and consider that risk when making your decision about undergoing liposuction surgery. How scars heal depend on your genetics mostly, then on the location of the scar on your body, the situation that created the scar - surgery vs. trauma, and technique used in surgery for closure. Good luck.
